    I've always seen this place but never tried it. I used to also not be a fan of chili, but their chili is more of a sauce in my opinion. If you're a fan of a chili dog you definitely need to check them out. The 5 star is more for the service because the person who assist us was super helpful and informative about the area because we were just noticing that all the food spots in the area closes at 8. Something to keep in mind if you plan on stopping by late. They have plenty of outdoor seating and in the shade.

    Great pickles!

    I was just here with my parents earlier. I tried a bite of my mom's Chicago dog and it was phenomenal. I am a huge fan of Chicago dogs, but I wasn't hungry so I didn't order anything. I really liked the pickle on it though, so I had my mom go up to ask if she could buy a couple for me and they nicely gave them to her for free! It's super casual, you just walk up to a window and order, and your food comes out really quickly. My dad's hot dog with chili looked really good. Next time, I will definitely be ordering my own hot dog.

    ICONIC valley hot dog stand that has stood the test (and taste) of time! You could almost imagine folks eating here from each decade since they opened in 1962... the 60's hippies, 70's rockers, 80's disco, funk & new wavers, 90's rappers & flannel-wearing grunge rockers... Their dogs have serious SNAP, courtesy of casings by Vienna. The all-beef hot dogs are juicy and delicious. Their chili is very mild - even your spice-averse friends could love it. The staff is lovely, the purple-haired girl who will show you pictures of her various hair color experiments through the years and the mellow guy with painted nails (green, the last time) will smile and play along. There is a lovely, shady & breezy outdoor patio with piped in music- Billy Joel, The Eagles, Little River Band & The Doors. The tables have song lyrics painted on them - fun! Plentiful parking in their dedicated lot, but no restroom. One wish: to-go chili in a smaller container. They do have a $40 offering...

    Chicago Dog

    Today felt like the perfect summer day to have a Chicago dog so I made a stop at Cupid's on my way back from running errands. Their hot dogs have that perfect snap to them- so good. I also managed to get the perfect shot with The Valley mural in the background lol (all for Yelp!) Customer service is always excellent. Ambiance is nice, there's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy lunch al fresco. If you haven't yet stopped by for a summer hot dogs, what are you waiting for?

    I grew up going to cupids and it's ALWAYS good! The service is always great and friendly. Every variation of hot dog I have gotten is delicious! My favorite is the Chicago dog and my husband loves the chili cheese dogs. They have tables outside to eat but no bathrooms. There's a small parking lot and also street parking. I usually take it to go but decided to sit at a table and eat. I will definitely be back!!

    Great little spot to grab an amazing hot dog. Their hot dogs have that nice little snap when you bite into it, and the chili was perfect. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

    The Cupid Dog with cheese (chili, mustard, onion).

    Opened 1962- The Cupid's Hot Dog dynasty started in 1946, with the first location being in North Hollywood. It's no longer there, and unfortunately, many locations have come and gone since they first opened. This Winnetka location is now the oldest. Cupid's menu is as simple as it gets. Five different types of Hotdogs: The Cupid, Reuben, Chicago, Triangle and the Veggie. It's the same dog (except the veggie), with different toppings. I had the Cupid Dog with cheese (chili, mustard, onion). The hotdog had a nice snap and was very tasty. The steamed buns were perfect. Unfortunately, the chili is a bit bland for my liking, but the Triangle dog with cheese was Great (no chili). I could eat a few of those at a time. The relish is very sweet, so I ordered it on the side. Overall, this is a very tasty dog! There is a reason why old school places like this are still around (Munch Box, Bill's Burgers, The Hat, The Bucket, Etc.) The menus are all very simple and the quality of the food stands up. Also, the level of nostalgia is enough for people like me to drive a little bit further. Gotta get a hot dog at Cupid's.

    A great old school hot dog stand. It's a walk up counter but there are some picnic tables off to the side in a shaded area. I thought the prices were very reasonable and liked that they had a create-your-own option for hot dogs as well as several pre-set choices. I liked some aspects of my chili dog: the hot dog had a nice snap and the bun was fresh. I was not at all a fan of the chili though. I found it to taste very bland and mealy. I also love having fries with my chili dog but Cupid's doesn't sell them. Some people walk next door to Daglas Drive-in and purchase fries to bring back for their meal. I would return to Cupid's and just skip the chili next time. Helpful tip: Pay with cash and save 4% on your order.

    Cupid hot dogs because my wife shot my heart with an arrow
    Stevie L.

    Food was amazing and I really enjoyed our food. My wife got a Cupid with sourkraut and I got a Chicago. This place is excellent for a quick bite to eat. We will definitely be returning and showing up to the 80th anniversary!

    One of the best places in the valley for a chili dog. The hot dogs are snappy and the chili is tasty, not overpowering, oily or salty like most establishments. I've been coming to Cupids for over 30 years and very little has changed. The menu has gotten bigger to include sandwiches but the chili is why you're here. Their meat chili is my absolute favorite and you can order a large container of just chili to go. Lines can be long during lunch but there's plenty of parking and decent seating if you're lucky.

    Found a new spot for a quick yummy boit!!

    Its LABOR DAY! So.. its a good day for a hot dog! Its my 2nd time here The young cook; Nathan was the one making the hot dog today. It was made beautifully! I tried the Reuben hot dog with mustard, cheese & sauerkraut. Not bad! Its a 7/10. But.. taste wise,.. I like the Chicago style hot dog better. It packs more flavors in it so it deserves 9/10 from me. Will stop by again to try the other items.

    Cupids since 1946.

    Established in 1946. Cupid's Hot Dogs is a no frills hot dog stand with only a couple locations left (Winnetka and Chatsworth). I remember the Northridge location growing up in the SFV (no longer there). This location in Winnetka keeps it simple: hot dogs (4 kinds), Chips, Drinks. The hot dogs have a wonderful snap to them. The chili is on the blander side and thin consistency- you either love it or don't. I like their Reuben Dog; it has sauerkraut, cheese, and mustard. Yummy! There is a cute small outside patio on the premises. It's shaded by trees. Pay Cash and get 4% off. Cards accepted as well. Private Parking is available on their private lot.

    ALWAYS loved cupids but the price for a chili dog was outrageously high for the size of the chili dog. Definitely not worth the price

    Do the wieners have skin or are they "skinless"?

    No they have a skin. They get them from Vienna so it's a beef dog in a lamb casing.

    Does the chili have beans in it or is it just meat?

    I am happy to say that the chili does NOT have beans! One of the reasons it's so good :)

Long ago I've come to grips that my favorite option, Combo #6, is no longer available and has to be built piecemeal but now I find that my other favorite, Pastrami Grilled Cheese, seems to have been discontinued. Dang... The cheeseburger was okay but seems smaller than I remembered. Tasted good but visually underwhelming for $8.20. The pastrami burger, albeit quite expensive, is a taste sensation; really liked it. The pastrami seemed a bit dry but on a burger that is okay. The funniest part is my dining partner's reaction to the fries. His first comment was quizzical if not a bit disgusted, "why is the bag so brown; is that grease?" and then followed by surp[rised satisfaction and joy. The taste of the fries and the seasoning are exceptionally satisfying. For us, Friday definitely was FRY DAY!

I enjoyed the burger and fries the most. The fries were freshly cut, well seasoned and savory. Plenty of crisp bacon and tasty secret sauce in the burger.
